Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

Gasoline prices increase dramatically in a month. Lola commutes 100 miles to work each weekday.  

For a few months, she tries to reduce expenses on gasoline but driving less on weekends. Within a year she moved to place only 10 miles away from her workplace.  

We see that in response to an increase in the price of Gasoline, the quantity demanded of gasoline by Lola is adjusting over time. The demand is getting more price elastic with the passage of time as a consumer is adjusting to price change and finding new ways to reduce expenses.  

This example shows how the time horizon determines the price elasticity of demand.

Which is not a feature of the four‑firm concentration ratio? a) It is an indicator of the oligopolistic nature of an industry. b
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: d) The ratio considers differences between the market shares of the top four firms. It is NOT a feature of the four-firm concentration ratio.

Explanation:

The concentration index of a market is the market percentage of a number of companies in that market with respect to its total size. It is used to calculate the domain of one or more companies in their respective market. It is used to calculate the domain of one or more companies in their respective market. Therefore the concentration ratio of 4 companies calculates the total market percentage of these 4 companies and presents with respect to the total market, so it does not take into account the differences between the market shares of the four main companies.

(6) Erik receives an eight-year annuity-immediate with monthly payments. The first payment is $300 and payments increase by $6 e
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

  • <u>$70,264.03</u>

Explanation:

You need to calculate the value of 8 × 12 = 96 different cash flows.

There is not a formula to calculate that, because the<em> $6 dollar increase</em> does not represent growing with a constant rate.

The monthly payments are:

Month            payment ($)

0 (today)             300

1                           306

2                          312

3                          318

n                          306 + 6 (n-1)

96 (last)               876

Then you must create a spreadsheet with these features:

  • Five columns
  • First column is the month, and starts with month 0 (today)
  • Second column is the initial balance, the first balance is 0
  • Third column is the interest: it is calculated as the monthly interest by the initial balance. The monthly interest is 6%/12 = 0.06/12 = 0.005
  • Fourth column is the amount deposited: for month zero it is $300, and every month you add $6.
  • Fith column is the final balance: it is the sum of the initial balance (second column) + interest (third column) + deposit (fourth colum)
  • 96 rows: 8 years × 12months/year = 96 months.
  • The initial balance of each row is equal to the final balance of the previous row.

Here a sample of the first three rows:

Month  Initial balance  Interest                    Deposit     Final balance

 0                  0                   0                          300          300

 1                 300             300×0.005 = 1.5    306          607.5

 2                607.5          607.5×0.005           312          922.54

When you do it up to the row 96, the final balance is <em>the balance in the acccount at the end of the eight years</em>.

The last row of your spreadsheet will show:

96           69,042.81      345.21                    876         70,264.03

Thus, <em>the balance at the end of eight years will be $70,264.03</em>

Although people with high incomes appear to be happier than those with low incomes, people in the United States in general have
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Real GDP is not the direct indication of happiness, because happiness is dependent on a number of other factors, which when combined can result in a happy life.

Explanation:

Real GDP is defined as the measure of the value of the output of the economy, in the macroeconomics, which reflects the money value of all goods and services produced in a given year. Here the output of the economy is also adjusted for the changes in prices occurring in the year.

According the referred application 3 of the book, it is true that the people of United States have become less happy despite the real GDP rise over the last 30 years. This is because the growth of real GDP is not able to cope up simultaneously with the increased workplace stress, jeopardized married life, traffic congestion, health problems and deterioration of environment.

In conclusion, it can be stated that Money does play an important role in increasing the happiness. However the factor alone is not able to cope up with all the problems and this is true only when all the other factors such as a conducive working environment, happy married life, healthy life are also accompanying more money.
